and Oh, Hello, welcome to another episode of Purple Insider Matthew Collar here, along with Kevin Cole of unexpected points returning to the show as we must cover

every analytical way we can the NFL draft what is going on Kevin you produced a lot of great content for the unexpected points newsletter.

You've got podcasts, you've got charts, everything going on. So we're going to break it all down.

What is up man?

Yeah, yeah, we've gotten through the draft and it's... So we're going to break it all down. What is up man?
